As a boy in Macedonia, Marjan Pejoski loved A Clockwork Orange. It's what he imagined England was like. When he grew up to become an internationally recognized designer, he invested some of his success in artist Herman Makkink's phallic Rocking Machine, used in one of the movie's most notoriously brutal sequences. And today Pejoski also got to air his Clockwork love on the KTZ catwalk.

Inspired by the outfits worn by the thuggish, skinheaded droogs in Stanley Kubrick's film, Pejoski accessorized overalls, jumpsuits, and prison stripes with bowler hats, suspenders, chinguards, and thick-soled mutant creepers. He added his own dystopian spin with pixelated images of Lenin and Mao and a handful of patches: Violence, Innocence, The World to Come, and Last Game. KTZ has always been the most tribal of fashion labels, but the community is usually a little more upbeat than this. "There's good and bad in all of us," Pejoski countered.

If the droogs were the bad, the good soon followed in the form of supersize Inuit Eskimos, in huge fur-trimmed parkas and shaggy boots. Pejoski imagined droogs in the making—suburban kids at loose ends—being sent to rehab in the Arctic, "where you need to live in nature." The skinheads and the Eskimos created what he called "the impossible tangle" that KTZ loves: The hardness of black rubber contrasted with the softness of fur. It's not hard to see how a cult could spring up around such fashion fetishism.
